Burger King Employees Get Arrested After Cops Find Out Asking For "Extra Crispy Fries" Was Code Word For Weed

EPPING — A manager and another employee of a local Burger King are facing drug charges after a police sting for allegedly using the drive-thru to serve a meal with a side of marijuana. Garrett Norris, 20, and Meagan Dearborn, 19, both of Raymond, were arrested following an undercover operation on Jan. 21 that was planned after authorities heard reports of drugs being sold through the drive-thru window using the code word “fries extra crispy.” Dearborn, a shift manager who was working at Burger King on Wednesday, denied she knew anything about drugs being sold at the drive-thru. “I didn’t know what was going on, but since I took the order and gave them the food they charged me,” she told the Union Leader. Police Chief Michael Wallace has heard other allegations of drug sales at fast food drive-thrus in the past, but said this is the first time his department has ever made an arrest in such a case. “We don’t know how long it’s been going on,” he said.

BIG fan of this move. It reminds me that people are out there still trying to deal drugs. I like that. The day people stop trying to deal drugs is the day the world gets a lot less fun. I’m a huge fan of The Wire and a lot of that show was drug dealers staying one step ahead of the police (and Omar Little) with secret stash houses, burner phones and code names. So these two Burger King employees using “extra crispy fries” as a code word for “Hey I wanna buy some weed” really makes me happy. That’s how you make money on top of the money you’re already making. It also makes you wonder if anyone came through the BK drive thru, actually wanted extra crispy fries and instead was propositioned to buy marijuana. That had to happen at least once or twice because everybody knows extra crispy fries are the best kind of fires. It’s probably how the cops found out this was happening. Because other than that flaw in the plan, it’s a perfect plan. 9 outta 10 for creativity. Point deduction for not having the code word be more vague. It should’ve been something like, “I’ll take a cheeseburger with a frozen patty.” Nobody would mistakenly order that.
